I thought it was announced a while ago? And it is available for purchase @retail, shouldn't the title specify "shipping"?

They need to update the product page, in one place it states avail in 480 & 960GB capacity.

I wonder how long, how few months, before these become obsolete?

Only x4 speed? Even at that seems disappointing given x4 with theoretical bandwidth of 4GB/s (pcie 2.0 spec) w/20% overhead for encoding should still be 3.2GB/s max. How much more would it cost them to do x8 speed, many MB's come with those full speed slots now?

So when the SF2000 series comes out in how many months, along with supposed PCI-e 3.0 finalized Q42010, can we expect an x4 or x8 @much higher performance Revo X3 for same $$$ in less than 1/2yr?

The title should not specify shipping, as the retailers listed on their product page are only taking pre-orders.

Obsolete...that's an interesting question. Some would argue that for a much lower cost you could RAID together 4 40GB SF-1200 drives and gain superior performance. I have to be careful of the watchful eye of OCZ though and would proffer that opinion as my own.

Don't know were you get your numbers, but PCIe dose not get those kind of true-put Nr's
